## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability heurist-mesh-yahoo-finance-quote-snapshot-ec864fc2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me a quick market snapshot for AAPL, NVDA, and MSFT — just the current prices and key quote stats?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, lightweight current market quote for one or more stock, ETF, or index symbols and only need the latest snapshot without historical trend context. Prefer this over OHLCV/historical endpoints when you just need the current price and basic quote fields. For futures symbols where recent trend context matters, use the dedicated futures_snapshot endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Futures symbols may lack trend context — use futures_snapshot endpoint instead
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient
- Symbols must be exact Yahoo Finance format (e.g. BRK-B not BRKB) or lookup will fail
- Stale data during market closures or off-hours may not reflect after-hours prices

## How this service works

Return a compact current market snapshot for one or more exact Yahoo Finance symbols. For futures symbols, prefer futures_snapshot which includes recent trend context.

## Output

A compact JSON market snapshot for each requested ticker symbol, including current price, bid/ask, day high/low range, volume, market cap, and other standard Yahoo Finance quote fields. Returns data for all valid symbols provided in a single call.
